Balblair 2002, 1st edition, 46%

Posted on 16 October 2014 by

I love Balblair. Ever since I visited the distillery last year, and a Twitter tasting done before that I just love the distillery. Not even sure why since I didn’t try that many of their whiskies, since not many shops … Continue reading →

My favourite events of 2013

Posted on 30 December 2013 by
